AN EXPOSURE THREATENED.

Jules Giguel, the "spotter,n who had been
until recently the agent of the Law and Or
der Association, and who has been very Bit
ter against temperance people since his re-
moval from that position, advertised that he
would lecture in the City Hall, New Bed
ford, Aug. 3, on "Hypocrisy, Corruption and
Degradation He promises to make things
lively for prominent temperance men,
whom he calls hypocrites. He claims
that he has been prevented from max
ing prosecutions against liquor dealers
by members of the association, because they
or their friends owned buildings where liquor
was sold. He says that in his exposure he
will strike from the ministry down. Many
of the city pastors are members of the associ-

to bear the expense, but they refused, saying

The question of successoIship to the presi,

settled temporarily by the appearance of an
address signed by Wilford Woodruff, presi

former occasions in our history, the duty and
responsibility of presiding over and direct
ing the affairs Of the Church of Jesus Christ
in all the world dovove upon the twelve
apostles. With the blessing Of the Lord and
the faith and prayers Of his people, we hope
to DO our duty until we, too, shall be laid to
rest" Woodruff is i'll the regular line of

would indicate thcro is to Ge no departure

and a man of mediocre ability. He has been

Governors Will be chosen in Iowa,

Apropos Of the Americans insis-
tent demand for the adjustment OF
the internal revenue tax on whisky,
and its concern for its poor fellows
who are arrested and fined for moon
shining and other violations of the
law, the Fayetteville Express pro-
jects the inquiry whether the arrest
and punishment of men for violating
the internal revenue laws is much
worse than would be the arrest and
punishment of violators of a State
prohibition law, of which the editor
of the American was, few weeks
ago, prominent advocate and cham.
pion. Says the Express:
We respect most highly those PEG.

sake of the youth of the land. but the
thought spreads itself over us thai

ment gets him, with a clam0r foi

THOSE AWFUL FLAGS.

The old banners turned over to the
enemy at the close of the war, or
captured by them at anytime during
the war have created tempest
among certain ones of the rigidly
righteous in the north whose patri-
otism, now that its war is over, is
about equal to that Of some persons
in the south just before the beginning
Of the war whose zeal inspired them
to urge everybody else to shoulder q
musket while they kept themselves
safely out of harms way and swal-
lowed oaths, (for trade permits,) as
fast as the Yankees offered them.
To Messrs. Fairchild, Tuttlo & Co.,
who appear to be chief howlers of
this Salvation Army, we would, as
an old Confederate, and dropping the
editorial "we," remark and say in
true spread-eagle style: Gentlemen
of the Grand Army of Grunters:
When in the year eighteen hundred
and sixty-one there appeared in the
northern horizon war cloud no
larger than a mans hand, and when
that cloud widened and extended
itself from Maine to Kalamazoo
when the immense hordes of the
North, enveloped all over in blue
commonly called Lincoln's hordes-
arrayed themselves upon the one
side, and the gallant sons of the
south, all uniformed in Confederate
Gray, arrayed themselves upon the
other-then ! was found on the side
Of the Gray. And during those foul
years of mud, blood and destruction
whenever one of the aforesaid hordes
enveloped all over in blue, passed
across the line of my vision and by
his hated presence titilated my optic
nerve, then, Sir, the minnie bal
ensconced in my rifle would irresis
tably leap from its resting place--fy t.

THE OLD FLAGS.

Banner: The Republican press
seem determined to make all Of the
political capital possible out of the
Presidents assent to the distribution
of the old battle flags among the
States. The first violent outcry of
wounded '1oyalty and patriotism
has been made use of by party papers
to arouse war prejudices against the
Democratic Administration, and
even since the revocation of the
order, some of the rahid Republican
papers are hurting their ,denrincia-
lions and vituperation upon the
"copperhead PRESIDENT and his Eek
rebel cabinet.p They talk glibly Of
the "emblems OF treason" and damn
Mr.. Cleveland for having spoken Of
the high abilities and the services OF
''the arch traitor Calhoun" In fact,
they talk as If the war waste be fought
over, as If the country were on the
verge Of ruin and as iEthee were the
devil to pay generally, All this is
of course, for political effect.

failure.

that If he will come to GAINESVILLE and

hang down over the waters of the

THE Carthage Mirror and Gallatin
Tennesseean are calling on the De-
mocracy of the entire State for the
establishment of a Democratic paper
in Nashville. They are right. The
Democrats of Montgomery county
are disguised with the American
since Col. Colyar has turned it into a
protective tariff Radical sheet and
they will not permit it sent to their
address.
The new paper must be otttspoken
and Thoroughly Democratic, free
from isms and most pious cant, and
specially clear In its position on the
tariff. Such a paper will receive a
united and generous support on its
merits because the Democracy now
feel the need of paper the circula-
ton of which will be co-extensive
with the boundaries of the State
and which will give voice to thesenti-
ments of genuine Democrats which
is now suppressed by the managers
of the American. BY all means lei
us have the paper. ,Yff

WASHINGTON, June 19.-Among
the members OF the Board Of Visitors
to West Point this year was DIR. VIM.
Everett, of Massachusetts. He is q
bright, clever man, and a son of the
distinguished American orator, Ed
ward Everett At the banquet
given to the Board of Visitors during
the closing exercises at the Academy,
the Doctor took the occasion to in
form the guests that he was Mug
wump, and wanted everybody to
know it. This statement brought
Mayor Courtenay, Of Charleston, S.
c., to his feet, and he said it reminded
him of a story. About the time the
Mugwump first sprung into exis-
tence, an English Lord was visiting
this country, and devoted much at
tention tothe study of our institutions
and manners. The constant use Of
the term "Mugwump" during the
political campaign attracted his no
tice, so one day he made bold to ask
an American friend what the WORD
"mugwump" meant. "a Republic
can who votes the Democratic tick
ct" was the reply.
"And what do they call a Demo
crat who votes the Republican
ticket" next inquired the curious
Englishman.
"I'd call him a damn fool" wal
the friends prompt response.
The guests are said to have Endorsed
the hit immensely, with, perhaps
the possible exception Of the Mug
wump from the Bay State.
